Overview of HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis
Tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) is a medical condition that causes weakness, muscle spasms, and sensory disturbance by human T-lymphotropic virus resulting in paraparesis, weakness of the legs. As the name suggests, it is most common in tropical regions, including the Caribbean. Blood transfusion products are screened for HTLV-1 antibodies, as a preventive measure.
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 infects multiple lineage hematopoietic cells in vivo.
